I didn't think I would like this anime at first, but it quickly became one of my favorites of the season, and I found myself looking forward to watching it each week. I can't put my finger on it, but I really like Sio's character - the shy, seemingly weak, awkward girl saves the day.

And I really thought the ending of this episode was very cute - I had an "awwww" warm and fuzzy moment.

I found the series delightful and entertaining, and I would definitely watch a second season.
I wish the manga were being translated faster, but I guess I should just be grateful someone is translating it at all.

Oh man, finished.
Had to re-watch because when it was first put up I halfway through.
Now that i could see it over it was pretty good with them closing out the battle against the invasive creatures and towards the end was freakin' hilarious.

As a whole, the show had really slow progression during the later half, but i just like the series since the characters are fun.
7/10

Hahaha well, as hpulley did mention, it does make sense to end it there...and it was a damn faithful adaptation of the manga scene too, pretty much panel for panel. The nosebleed part was just hilarious, because really, it's just like Sio to break a super-emotional moment with something quirky.

I'll admit--I love this series, 10/10; I'm not rating it so much as how in-depth or complex compared to some other shows, because there are definitely others I've watched that I would rank higher in terms of complexity and execution, but it was a damn. Good. Ride. I had a lot of fun, and it was funny because this was a slow-burn series for me--I actually nearly dropped it at episode 3, but then once all the holders started interacting together, that's when the show really clicked for me. It was the most-looked forward to show every week for me.

Also I will shamelessly admit that I love action shows that have romance subplots but don't fall into the romance genre. So when they started hinting at AdamxSio...welp my dream came true, because for once a couple that you really wanna end up together actually does. WITH A KISS (d'aww, my kokoro went dokidoki). In canon. Okay so it's not like they went around announcing it to everyone but still. DAT KISS. And also the whole Jack the Ripper's true identity thing I was just like 'waaaattt'

But knife wings are good. Knife wings are awesome.

I'm going to buy the BD anyway even though it's super pricey; I never buy boxsets but I'll make an exception this time. And also I must obsessively own every piece of Nobunagun merchandise out there...which isn't a lot...
